 Overview:
Get those creative juices flowing with our creative workshops where guests learn new skills (and show off hidden talents) while enjoying the company of colleagues and friends in a relaxed environment. The main focus of the creative day is a fun shared experience for everybody, where guests have the opportunity to try things they've never tried before and have lots of fun doing it!
Art and the nature of this environment inspires creative thinking and guests will be encouraged to 'think outside of the box' throughout the event.
Format:
Our workshops are structured so that participants will have a set time to complete a project. The workshops can run as a complete event or can fit into other activities.
Guests will be given a demonstration on the chosen art and craft. Then they will start work on their own projects with an art tutor on hand to guide and offer advice. At the end of the session participants can take their work home with them. Depending on the projects, items take from 30 minutes to half day to complete.
Activites:
The creative workshops can be just one workshop or a selection for participants to enjoy. Please choose from the following workshops:
Abstract Art
Using multimedia and collage materials the group will be amazed at what they can achieve with simple techniques and lots of paints.

We will demonstrate some ideas but we are looking for wacky designs not just the traditional white icing.
Carnival Arts
Groups work together to make giant puppets and masks for a colourful display at the end of the event.
Clay Modelling
After the tutor demostrates methods of using clay for sculpting, they'll demonstrate making simple pots, figures and 3-D decoration, then it's over to the guests.
